This set-up is typically suitable for event-driven applications which run for several time on the servers. Well companies like AWS, Microsoft, and IBM are taking cloud computing a step ahead with this revolutionary concept.

Trend #3: Containers – The New Frontier in Cloud Computing

A method of running distributed applications through OS virtualization. Instead of launching the entire VM for each application, small containers are executed on a single host accessing the same kernel. Taking Virtualization a step ahead, Containerization is gradually being preferred by the firms, especially due to Docker systems. Though people criticize containers for being an overhead, companies are increasingly promoting the use of containers allowing the infrastructure to be more agile.

The State monitoring of cloud has come to realization with Monitoring-as-a-Service solution AWS Watch from Amazon EC2 that allows the cloud consumers to pay for monitoring state violation, topology planning, etc. The proposed benefits are quite eye-catching such as significant cost reduction, deployment of state monitoring ability at different levels, value addition for better cloud performance, and much more. Interesting, isn’t it?

Trend #5: Platform-as-a-Service to Become the Fastest Growing Sector

A survey from CIO reveals that Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is expected to swell up to 56% by the end of 2020.
